Not Ever Being Any More
Does pondering one’s demise create an enigmatic quandary?
Horrifying is the notion of one not ever being any more
Dreading more so in the belief that one’s existence will transform into a forgotten memory
Ominous is the thought of contemplating one’s lifeless body stiffened and forever absent from existence
Embalmed, formally attired and eternally warehoused in a casket befitting one’s former station in life
Sealed for all eternity in a dark cold crypt with only a few of life’s mementos keeping one company
Surrounded simply by the many corpses of strangers one once neglected in life
Resting comfortably as Mother Nature’s arsenal gradually ravages the previously manicured flesh
Taking momentary solace in the occasional passer-bye who contemplates our one-time existence
Perhaps helping one understand why our journey was a necessary plight for the inconceivable soul
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
